I finished another wood-burned piece yesterday. The only thing it needs is a protective coat of varnish.
My friend Marsha suggested I make wood-burned sign/plaques for pets with pegs for leashes, etc. I ordered what I needed and plan to start one for a dog and one for a cat today. My husband said he would help me attach the pegs once the designs are done. :0)
My cleanup of my art room is progressing. You can see there are actual counter tops and tables in there now! The work continues.
We have a bunch of quick errands plus my husband’s haircut this morning and then the rest of the day is free.
In about half an hour, I’ll be leaving to get my hair cut. While I’m out, I’ll run several errands. When I get home, I’ll check for mail and see if the good trash people have emptied our can yet. If so, I’ll drag it up to where it lives before I drive up.
If I ‘hold-my-mouth-right,’ tomorrow MAY be the day we get our driveway repaired. So far it looks like Mother Nature is calm for today and tomorrow. We’re supposed to get rain much of the day Friday, so the guys may decide it’s better to do it next week, when it’s supposed to be dryer. I’m just happy that we are on the list to get the work done.
Yesterday I got out and watered our tomato plants and sprayed them with EIGHT for bugs. So far, I’m only seeing grasshoppers, but the worms are always hard to see and do their damage before you can blink an eye, so I’m trying to stay ahead of them.
I’m also planning to do a bit of weed whacking and spraying with KILLZALL to treat the non-mowable areas in the yard, as well as edges today.
I lost pound #28 this morning, so I’m feeling good about my efforts lately. May this continue!
Jet and Amber are still managing detente. Jet hisses when Amber gets too exuberant and I hold my breath, but so far, things are workable. My husband is still cooperating on trying to make sure Jet stays in the house until she really understands where ‘home’ is.
